Features: A growth classic with humanistic care, belonging to our eternal age of innocence. "You once let me play in your garden; this time, I will take you into my garden—it is paradise." This book collects Oscar Wilde's famous fairy tales. The Giant's Garden tells the story of a giant who owns a very beautiful garden, but his selfishness prevents anyone from entering, even innocent children. The garden, deprived of the laughter of children, loses its beauty, birds stop singing, flowers stop blooming, spring no longer visits, and ice and snow freeze the entire garden. One day, the return of children brings back the beauty of spring to the garden, touching the giant's heart and making him no longer selfish. This book gathers all of Oscar Wilde's excellent fairy tales as a writer of aestheticism, and with beautiful translation, allows us to recall that long-lost age of innocence. All the stories, as time passes, brew an increasingly rich emotional impact, stirring the heart and leaving a faint sadness about the world and fate after a breathtaking reading experience.
